The Coming Eclipse.


ASTRONOMERS READY TO STUDY THE GRAND MYs-
TERIES OF THE SUN.
To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
The present week promises to be one OF the most
Interesting, In scientific point OF view that has
occurred In the history Of time. This Is owing tn
the extended preparations which have been made
to observe total eclipse OF the SUM- which will be
seen In Europe On the 10th inst. OF late years
nomlc institutions, through their chosen agents
10 make these observations as positive and exact
| as knowledge OF natures laws and the perfection
OF instruments allow; and SO, when these oppor-
tun1tles occur, we may expect many Calculations
OF exact science, well as important discoveries
Se hnsss have been
doubt Its chosen representatives will acQuit them
selves In highly creditable manner.
Inc suns surface will form one OF the most in
terestlng features OF observation as 1t approaches
contact with that OF the moon; and In this WaV
some OF the conditions and perturbattons con-
tlguouS 10 his mass may be more fully understood
and explained The Oft-maintained and disputed
theory OF an intra-mercurial planet may possibly
be solved by the watchfu eyesof the professors on
this eventful OCCASION and thus the eccentrfcitfes
OF the planet Mercury-thoSe which show some
other cause beside the summary be naturally ex-
planned.
Many other mysteries connected with the sun
Will be studied closely at this short but oppOrtune
as that OF the Corona-or the 'GIory, as some call
ft-which for hundreds OF thousands OF miles ont
wards surrounds the SUMS disc. 1t seems to be
called by scientists the ChrOmosphere and the
Philosophers, the one more closely surrounding the

urday night John Lee, one OF the prisoners, came

who went to the door to converse with him.
Witness heard Lee tell his son that he Qee) had

Lee said: eyes did; and II you will come with
me will prove 1t by Joe Taylor, who helped me-"
Witness heard Lee caution Henry not to call him

ABE Smith, colored, also testified to hearing the
